You may want to look at the pickle library.

Writing a file that has been pickled, doesn't produce 'text', but it
allows you to save your dictionary, and later you can read the file
and unpickle it back to the dictionary you created earlier.  I'm not
sure if this is what you are going for, but its how I read your
message.
